Answer:

The USA PATRIOT Act, has been harshly criticized by various organizations and human rights organizations, due to the restriction of freedoms and constitutional guarantees that it has meant for citizens, both American and foreign.

Explanation:

The USA PATRIOT Act, is a federal law of the United States. It was approved by an overwhelming majority by both the House of Representatives and the US Senate and then promulgated by US President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001, after the attacks of September 11, 2001. The objective of this law is to expand the control capacity of the State in order to combat terrorism, improving the capacity of the different US security agencies by coordinating them and providing them with greater powers of vigilance against terrorist crimes. The law also enacted new crimes and toughened the penalties for terrorism offenses.

what event was planned to solve the problem identified by admiral nagano? A) attack on Pearl Harbor B) invasion of the Soviet Un
san4es73 [151]

The correct answer is Option A) Pearl Harbor

Osami Nagano was the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff during the World War II.

The United States could have proven to be a huge problem for Japanese forces, due to the former's Pacific Fleet.

In order to completely handicap the United States Pacific Fleet, a plan was devised for a surprise attack on Hawaii's Pearl Harbor. From a tactical point of view, the plan was executed perfectly as the Japanese were able to destroy a large part of the America's Pacific Naval power.

Strategically, it was seen as a disaster as the US was, before the attack, keeping an isolationist policy in World War II and did not have intention of entering any world conflict.

The fall of the Roman Empire was not due to one event but due to many events combined.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

There wasn't a single thing that brought Rome to its knees, but instead a dastardly combination of several factors. At the source of everything, the Roman government was incredibly corrupt and ineffective, and Roman citizens did not trust in the leaders of the Republic. In addition, the rise of Christianity and the shying away from the Roman polytheistic religious traditions also contributed, as the latter viewed the emperor as having deistic authority. Finally, because of the sheer size of the Empire, it was incredibly hard to govern on the fringes and the Roman Empire spent too much money bolstering its military might.
